The great plateau between the Rocky
Mountains and the Sierras, comprising
the territory oi Utah and the state OF
Nevada, is apparently destined 10 be-
come the greatest CWtlc-rango i'm the
country. Already immense tracts OF
land, some embracing nearly TWO hum
dred and fifty thousand acres. have
been purchased. and owners OF large
herds in Texas and other southwestern
states are looking for ranges in this
wide section of natural pasture-land.
The pressure of settlers who wish TO en-
gage in agriculture and found homes
upon the lands in the great fertile plains
of the west and south has begun to
crowd out the cattle kings who have for
years monopolzcd the largest part of
the states which 10y nature are better
fitted for the raising OF crops than for
the pasturage of herds. Thus there has
begun a hegira Of cattlemeL toward the
west, which bids fair to aid materially
in the development of those great sec
tions of our country that have hitherto
been left almost exclusively in the hands
of Indians and peripatetic gold-hunters.
This movement OF stockmen toward the
west is a matter of considerable import
ance to the people of this coast, for the
region which will be appropriated by
them is 10y nature tributary to Cali
fornia, which should be benefited by the
establishment Of great moneyod in
''rests in a locality from which up to
this time little benefit compared with
the extent of country has been derived.
The cattlemen are also the precursors of
the husbandman, who, when a country
has become 10 some extent settled,
would readily seek in it opportunities
for agriculture; and it may confidently
be expected that there will, before many
years are passed, be more agricultural
land discovered i'm Utah and Nevada
than has been believed to exist there -

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

Hardly a week passes without the men,
ton bythenewspapers ofsudden deaths, and
OF late the alarming frequency oi the state
ment that death was caused by rheumatism
or neuralgia of the heart cannot fail TO have
beennoticed. In allprobability many deaths
attributed 10 heart disease are caused by
these terrible diseases, which are lar more
dangerous than As generally considered. Is
there any positive cure? TIE best answer
to such question is given by those who hare
been cured by the use OF Athlophoros.
Mrs. Carrie Lee, Konosha, Wis. says,

wears ago 10 the effect that Goblet,
after taking the oxhumcd bone, Of
Thomas Paine from America % Eng
land, left them in a warehouse at Liver
pool, "and no one knows what became
of them" The facts are that Goblet

TeBAcco SUGGESTIONS.

TeBACco SUGGESTIONS.
In an article in recent number
ofthe Richmond Whig we find the
following:
at is evident that the planters of
Virginia will be compelled, by the
large production of low-prlced to-.
bacco in Kentucky and other States
west of US, to confne themselves to
a few select lines of this staple, and
in order to make sure of getting
what they at, will have to curtaiI
their crops. In certain sections they
can raise the heavy shipping leaf, in
other sections the yellow wrapper,
the sweet filler, the bright cutters
and smokers. In these grades, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina are with>
out serious competition, and the
markets of the world will not soon
be glutted with these high standard
goods. Anything else will be pro-
duced at loss in this State"
This is precisely on the line to
which we have aimed to direct our
planters quality rather than guam
tity. Let them appreciate one solid
fact; that in yellow wrapper, sweet
filters, cutters and smokers, North
Carolina and Virginia are practical
ly without competition. Then, with
this field their own, let the product
be made as perfect as care, judgment
and skill can make it. Th r. will
be in proportion to merit. But in
the common tobaccos, we have the
world as rival, and any section
can excel us in making bad tobacco.
It is. the excess Of this that giuis the
market and keeps the prices down.

THE MAYoRALTY-MR. SooTr DECLINES.
Among the names suggested in con-

of which is steadily approaching, that of
Mr.. George F. Scott has been received
with mrch favor. He is a northern gen.
tleman who has lived among as, exacting
respect by the high integrity of bis char
acter, by the sagacity Of bis business
measures, by the broadness of his public
spirit, and attaching many friends by his
blameless private life, and the III banity
of his manners. The nomination of Mr..
Scott would have been acceptable to very
many citizens; and they will regret the
expression of his determination as con-
veyee in the following letter:
Editors Citizen Gentlemen -
AS my name has several times been
mentioned in connection with the office
of Mayor, Tlease inform the pIblic that I
am not candidate. It would give me
great pleasure to be honored by the peo-
pie, provided could give the position
time and attention it demands. Ny
business relations are such that one or
the other would suffer, therefore l must
positively decline nomination.
Faithfully yours,
GEO. F. SCOTT.

HELP WANTED, AND AT ONCE.

f1ELP w AkTED, AND AT ONCE
We make no apology for the endorse
ment of the subjoinel appeal in behalf
of The Hospital. 1t is the voice of suffer-
ing humanity that speaks; of humanity
that is common to al, but a humanity poor,
sick suffering, dependent upon the help of
the well the able and the charitable. Sick
ness has been fallen and comes with add
ed weight with the burden of poverty. A
gentle charity has stretched out its hands
to give relief; but has erasped a weigh
too heavy for it to carry. Its inadequate
powers are overstrained. 1t is forced to
call for help. We believe the appeal has
only to be made. It is an unseltish one,
those who make it have nothing personal
to gain, they ask only in the name of a
suffering humanity they generously
devote themselves to alleviate. Respond
ye iich, and ye charitable, out of your
abundance, or with the mite your condi-
ton enables you to give. In the name
of humanity it is all equally blessed.
The Secretary of the He spital says:
Owing to the very trying weather of
the past month which has produced much
sickness, the hospital is very full of pa
tients, some very i'll, and all needing
constant attendance, The managers are
therefore seriously embarrassed for want
of funds to meet their expenses. They
now appeal to their generous fellow
citizens, and also the strangers in our
midst, to come to the rescue. ANY sum
however large or small will be CRATE
fully received. Contributions can be
left with Mr.. Rankin at Asheville Bank,
or handed to DR.. Battle, Mayor Aston, or
to any of the lady managers.

RECKLESS DRrvrNa-A1nosr AN ACCIDENT

REoKLEss DRIvNG-ALMosT AN ACCIDENT.
The following note from our towns
man Mr.. ]. R. Patterson alluding to
what came near being a serious accident
to himself, is also suggestive to our police.
Re ckless driving through onr streets,
C owded as they generally are should be
punished promptly and severely in every
case, and will be when called to the atten-
ton of the aut!. !.orities.
Mr.. Patterson says:
Editors Citizen II would like to call
the attention of the authorities to tie
reckless driving which is frequently done
on our streets. l was run over Wedn ee-
day evening while on horseback while
on my way home and came near being
very seriously hurt, and the driver was
30 Indifferent to the consequences of his
recklessness he did not even check his
team before or after the occurrence. The
reckless driving of carts, drays and all
kind of teams is frequently subject of
remark, and our city is fortunate SO far
in not having been called on before this
to pay damages for injuries done by
such driving. Respectfully,
J. r. PATTERSON,

A Gloucester dispatch of the 29th
says: One day last week, James
Kemp, youth of about eight sum-
mers, whose parents reside near
this place, came near meeting most
horrible end. He was on his way
to neighbor's when he was attack
ed by one of the largest gray eagles
ever seen in Tidewater Virgfhie4and,
after terrific struggle on the boys
part for the mastery over the merci-
less and rapacious bird, with sharp
talons and hooked beak, he succeed
ed in conquering it. The eagle, l
am informed, .measured nine feet
from tip to tip.
